I can say, though, that the seller really has no say in the matter, and they have no control over whether or not a listing gets the blue checkmark for authenticity guarantee. It's typically determined by a minimum price threshold which is different for graded vs. non-graded or raw cards.
And while the program can cause delays and headaches, it's worth noting that it's not only set up to protect the buyer from scams, but also the seller. It protects sellers from having to deal with unscrupulous buyers who claim they didn't receive the item as described, or who might swap out a raw card and try to return it back to the seller. It also protects eBay from having to approve more returns.
Ultimately, though, I do agree with you on your item, Mike -- it's pretty strange that it went through the authenticity process.

I thought the threshold was $250 for any card, raw or graded. Did that change?
Clearly, that's well above what this item sold for anyway, and it is also a set which is not supposed to be part of the authenticity program anyway.
